Women for a Healthy Environment (WHE) educates individuals about environmental risks to human health, provides action steps communities can take to mitigate those risks and advocates for solutions that better protect the region. We serve parents, students/children, school and early learning personnel, health and community-based organizations, with an emphasis on those living in underserved communities.
The Healthy Child Care Champions program helps child care centers create safe, toxin-free spaces for children. Through in-person assessments, we provide child care facilities with small changes that make a big impact—actionable, low-cost, eco-friendly strategies to reduce environmental hazards.
Children spend over 1,000 hours a year in schools and childcare.
We’re committed to ensuring these environments are safe and healthy by addressing hidden hazards like lead and radon. Enroll your school today to create safer, healthier spaces for all children.
